The Florida Gator basketball team ran its winning streak to six games against South Carolina Thursday night, beating the Gamecocks 74-66 in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Florida built a 36-19 lead in the first half, but the Gamecocks closed the gap in the second half, getting all the way back to 56-50 before Bradley Beal turned the momentum back in the Gators favor with a thundering dunk. Kenny Boynton led the way for the Gators (18-4, 6-1) with 24 points. Florida now turns its attention to Vanderbilt, whom the Gators will host Saturday afternoon.
